Not only will it be the first time astronauts have lifted off into space from American soil since 2011, it will also be the first time they do so from atop a rocket since July 15, 1975 when Apollo lifted off for the final time.

Forgive my ignorance, but how did we get people into space not atop a rocket for the last 45 years?

Sweet so we are back to utilizing 1975 tech in 2020.

Am planning to road trip down to get close to the launch. Space Center is closed but lots of parks to view from.

My dad was a NASA contractor before there was NASA - I grew up in Brevard County (PAFB) in the mid-50s watching early launches. My dad wrote the flight control software for the Saturn-V Apollo launches.
My dad has an award for supporting the Apollo launches, including the moon missions.
I have a plaque for supporting the first Shuttle launch and I supported the last Shuttle launch.
Both of my sons have been NASA contractors.
I now live in a Cape Canaveral condo and have a view from my north balcony of every launch pad and will watch next week's launch with great admiration for everyone who historically and currently played a role in getting us to this milestone, albeit on SpaceX boosters.
POTUS DJT and VP Pence will attend - Elon will attend - as will several hundred thousand patriots - GODSPEED Crew Dragon Flight DM-2.
